TL;DR: Despite popular belief, meta-analysis of current literature demonstrates that pediatric sleep apnea is often not cured by T&A, making it a valuable first-line treatment for pediatric OSAHS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether prerevascularization angiographic morphologic features of infarct-related arteries (IRAs) and timely reperfusion could convey information on slow-flow (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] 2 flow) or no-reflow (tIMI grade ≤ 1 flow) after direct percutaneous coronary intervention (d-PCI).

TL;DR: Inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1, located on chromosome 10q23, is a common event in advanced stages of diverse human malignancies, but the prognostic role of PTEN expression in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been characterized.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the literature on multilevel surgery for OSAHS patients, and to focus on efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

TL;DR: Level of circulating EPCs is independently predictive of prognosis after acute ischemic stroke and strongly correlated with improved National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≥4 on day 21 after IS.
